## Number of unique publications in the final corpus: 6184
Generally, 33 x 500 = 16.500 documents downloaded. However, due to an overlap of publications with most shared references to seed papers, final corpus is smaller. Further, number of adittional references per seed added decline. Yet, increase in non-overlapping references indicates the corpus is not saturated yet.

Note: The following tables refer to the documents in the main corpus.
Note: The following tables refer to the cited references within the corpus. Number of citation always refers to the citations recieved by the documents in the main corpus.
## Number of unique references cited by the final corpus: 10672 (after removing references cited less than 2 times)
I by now created some topic modelling. The results are somewhat preliminary, but already worth taking a look at. We ran a LDA on the titles + abstracts of our corpus, aiming at identifying 10 topics (some different numbers of topics to generate shows that 10 result in good results, more topics lead to too much overlap between them)
HEre you find a nice way of exploring topics via the LDAVIz tool. It dispolays all topics in a 2 dimensional PCA, and also gives a nice visual representation over the topics top-word distribution and overall frequencies of this words in the corpus. The \(\lambda\) parameter regulates the importance-ordering of the topwords. High \(\lambda\) order words by the highest propability to appear in the topic to the lowest (independent of the overall word popularity in the corpus), whle low \(\lambda\) emphasize words which are very specific to the topic, and rarely appear in others.
Play a bit around. It’s a bit condensed here in the small view, but you can also load it HERE in fullscreen for a better overview.
Note: This analysis refers the co-citation analysis, where the cited references and not the original publications are the unit of analysis. Here, the strength of the relationship between a reference pair \(m\) and \(n\) (\(s_{m,n}^{coc}\)) is expressed by the number of publications \(C\) which are jointly citing reference \(m\) and \(n\).
\[s_{m,n}^{coc} = \sum_i c_{i,m} c_{i,n}\]
The intuition here is that references which are frequently cited together are likely to share commonalities in theory, topic, methodology, or context. It can be interpreted as a measure of similarity as evaluated by other researchers that decide to jointly cite both references. Because the publication process is time-consuming, co-citation is a backward-looking measure, which is appropriate to map the relationship between core literature of a field.
In order to partition networks into components or clusters, we deploy a community detection technique based on the Lovain Algorithm (Blondel et al., 2008). The Lovain Algorithm is a heuristic method that attempts to optimize the modularity of communities within a network by maximizing within- and minimizing between-community connectivity.
We identify the following communities = knowledge bases
It is not the main focus of this exercise, but still informative to see which historical knowledge the fields draws from.
We identify 4 communities of avrying size (note: I just gave it some ad-hoc names to work with for now. Should be revised). We on first glance see that all share a somewhat similar internal density (meaning the references in the corresponding community are stronger connected with each others), except of community 3, which is more densely connected.
We see number of citations towards the STS knowledge base to sharply increase post-2000. Interestingly, citations to the evolutionary economics and industry-dynamics related knowledge base to completely vanish.
This is arguably the most interesting part. Here, we identify the literature’s current knowledge frontier by carrying out a bibliographic coupling analysis of the publications in our corpus. This measure uses bibliographical information of publications to establish a similarity relationship between them. This **coupling-strength} between publications is determined by the number of commonly cited references they share, assuming a common pool of references to indicate similarity in context, methods, or theory. Formally, the strength of the relationship between a publication pair \(i\) and \(j\) (\(s_{i,j}^{bib}\)) is expressed by the number of commonly cited references.
\[ s_{i,j}^{bib} = \sum_m c_{i,m} c_{j,m} \]
Since our corpus contains publications which differ strongly in terms of the number of cited references, we normalize the coupling strength by the Jaccard similarity coefficient. Here, we weight the intercept of two publications’ bibliography (shared refeences) by their union (number of all references cited by either \(i\) or \(j\)). It is bounded between zero and one, where one indicates the two publications to have an identical bibliography, and zero that they do not share any cited reference. Thereby, we prevent publications from having high coupling strength due to a large bibliography (e.g., literature surveys).
\[ S_{i,j}^{jac-bib} =\frac{C(i \cap j)}{C(i \cup j)} = \frac{s_{i,j}^{bib}}{c_i + c_j - s_{i,j}^{bib}} \]
More recent articles have a higher pool of possible references to co-cite to, hence they are more likely to be coupled. Consequently, bibliographic coupling represents a forward looking measure, and the method of choice to identify the current knowledge frontier at the point of analysis.
To identify communities in the field’s knowledge frontier (labeled research areas) we again use the Lovain Algorithm (Blondel et al., 2008). We identify the following communities = research areas
We on first glance see that RA 1&2 are substantially larger than the rest.
Now its time to describe them. In the following, I provide some statistics statistics per community which I find helpful to do so:
Brief reminder: Centrality in a bibliographic coupling network == representativeness != importance
Therefore, the central articles should be appropriate to characterize the kind of work done in the community, but are not necessarily the most important or influencial ones.

Ok, just to get a first glance, should not be overinterpreted. We see sustainability transition to be the most central community (not surprising, keeping in mind how the corpus is generated). More interestingly, it appears to be strongly connected to IS, climate change adaption and sustainable consumption literature, less so to enviromental science and PSS.
In the first scan it can clearly be seen, that the core of the sustainability transitions community resides in com2. So, lets zoom in a bit there and look at its internal structure. So, I did a second round of community detection inside com2 to identify the sub-communities within sustainability transitions. Lets see what we find…
We here find 4 sub-communities of rather equal size. Lets characterize them…

I know to little about the internal dynamics in the field, but hope that makes somewhat sense…
Finally, we can take a look at the most central publications (tob 50) in the community via a network plot.
To go a bit more in detal, I also provide the network of the top-100 most central publications per community. I here tried out an interactive visualization. You can zoom in and out, and the names of the papers are revealed when you click them. Should be a bit less overwhelming that way, and should encourage own exploration. Lets see if you like it.
